Panera Bread Co. plans to start work this spring on a second Sioux Falls location.

The bakery and cafe will be in a retail center in front of the Walmart store on Arrowhead Parkway. The plan is to break ground early this spring and open in the fall, according to district manager Shane Quail.

The new store will include a drive-up window. It will have some design changes but otherwise be similar to the company’s first location, which opened in 2006 at 57th Street and Louise Avenue.

“The performance of the current Sioux Falls cafe is very strong, and customer advocacy is positive,” Quail said. “We are optimistic about the new cafe.”
